Can the interior light stay on longer?
Hello


Is there an easy way of the interior light staying on slightly longer.. rather than switching it on.

The middle one for the kids, they jump in phaff around, then it goes out before they find the seatbelt holes.. so I open my door and on it pops again..

Can something be added so it just stays on longer?


Thanks

probably an adjustable timer relay such as the one linked to below to replace the existing relay

There isn't an existing relay. The interior light is controlled by the 10AS alarm module. I'm not sure if it can be programmed to stay on longer - hopefully somebody will come along that's played with the settings. Darren

It's not controlled by a relay, but the alarm ECU. So not a case of swapping a timer out.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

From memory, I think you can turn the delay on and off in the 10AS with something like a Nanocom, but I can't recall if there is more than one option for how long the delay is. If you can find someone nearby with the right diagnostic tool it would only take few minutes to check 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

They are indeed controlled by the alarm module. The options are on, off and smart - no time adjustment.

You could fit a timer relay that earths the door switch for longer after it's closed but the problem would be that you'd have to wait for the timer relay to open before you could lock the alarm. Otherwise you'd get a mislock Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon
